SEN. FAULKNER AT CHARLESTON.

Senator-elect Charles James Faulk-
ner arrived here Saturday morning
and gave a reception at the Capitol.
He refrained from making a speech.
He lisa medium sized gentleman, with
blue eyes and a gentle expression. He
talks freely, but is non-communica-
tive on all political issues.
Senator Faulkner has handed the
Governor his resignation as Judge of
the Thirteenth Judicial Circuit. 1t is
believed that Mr.. Wilson will appoint
Colonel Beckwith, one of the " kick
ing' Democrats, to the vacancy.
Judge Faulkner is quartered at the
Ruffner Hotel. The Democrats of
town and visitors here rendered him
an informal reception at his rooms.
Your correspondent called on him aad
was cordially received. He said 81
am always glad to see newspaper men.
They have always treated me fairly.
Pardon me for anticipating you, and
declining to be interviewed. Come
and see me some other time, and l
will gladly give you my views"
During the forenoon he visited both
branches of the Legislature, and both
bodies adjourned and rendered him a
formal reception, at the close of which
he returned to his room.
The new Senator is thirty-nine years
old; is five feet ten inches tall, and
weighs 100 pounds. His appearance
is commanding, and he has the repu-
tation of being the best organizer in
the State. His address is pleasing
and winning.
Judge Faulkner was Chairman of
the Democratic County Committee
for number of years before going on
the Bench, and is also widely and
prominently known in the Masonic
fraternity, having been Grand Master
of the Masonic Grand Lodge of West
Virginia during the years of 1S79-80.
By the last will of his father he in
herits Boydville, the old homestead,
after the death of his mother, place
full of historical interest to citizens
and stranger.-Intelligencer.

In giving information to newspaper
reporters the public should bear in
mind that their word is generally con-
sidered as sufficient evidence of the
accuracy of what they say. In spite
of this, informants are often far too
careless, and more than two thirds of
the errors which appear in the news
columns of a paper can be traced al
once to them. In giving information
be sure first that you know for a GER
tainty that what you tell is accurate,
and tell it in plain open manner, so
the reporter can fully understand you.

KEEP HIM In.

Yes, keep him in. You ask why !?
And we answer: 1st reason is, be-
cause he has faithfully discharged his
duty, and proven himself worthy of
the honor conferred upon him by the
voters of Berkeley Co. I'd. He has
proved himself the teachers friend,
standing firm like the "House built
upon the rock" Drawing the storm in
defence of the right. He is brave
man who will act boldly defending a
just cause, when the wrong is the
stronger party and when policy or
self interest would dictate a leaning
on the other side. Sd. He has dealt
fairly and squarely by teachers, trus-
tees and patrons; encouraging and
praising those who deserved, and
mildly reproving in cases where fail
ure in performance of duty was found.
In these reproofs he has melted out
to each his own share of blame-spar-
ing none. "Who will find a just man
for his path is as shining light, shin
ing brighter and brighter unto the
perfect day." 18th. He has made a
discovery that ought to open the eyes
of the public wide. The great reason
why our schools are not what they
ought to be is non-attendance. Only
tWo-thirds of the children are enrolled
in the schools and hardly one-third
are regular attendants. Is this not
an alarming fact? Mr.. Butts has
found the cause of the disease and he
is the very man to prescribe a remedy.
9Th. He has won the confidence and
respect of the teachers who are ready
and willing to carry out his plans,
while new man must necessarily
lose months if not year in adjusting
himself and finding his remedy for
existing school evils and failures
Reflect him by all means. Keep
him in his Office another term. We
do not need change. M.
